Design Wall Monday

I am taking a part in Design Wall Monday.   I have been working  on my “Nearly Insane” blocks and also started a new project  “Farmers Wife Quilt”
Design Wall 4 This is a change of pace for me and has been fun.   What is on your design wall?
We had quiet a few Trick or Treaters tonight, but most of the smaller children go to one of the area churches that feature Trunk or  Treat, which makes it nice for the little ones and safer too.  These two stopped by my house tonight from a land far far away!

They were so cute and their Mother, my DIL, always does a great job on their costumes.
Until next time.

Photos

I don't know what is going on with blogger, but my photos show one day and then the next they are no longer showing.  If you click on the place where the photo is it will open up.  I hope that this problem is resolved soon!

Until next time.

Another Finish

Today I finished up another quilt.  This one was designed by Kathleen Tracy from the book “Remembering Adelia”.  When I took the picture I did not know that Mr. Quilts fingers were in the way. :(

I have also been spending a lot of time doing some needlepoint.  This nativity set will be a gift for my Granddaughter.  They will be free standing.  I need to get busy and do the finishing.   Christmas will be here before we know it. YikesBethlehem   Mary & BabyJoseph    ShepherdSheep Angel Donkey Cow Purple Wiseman Red Wiseman Green WisemanThey have been a lot of fun to stitch.  I still have to finish the background stitching on a camel.  Maybe tomorrow when I attend my stitching group.

I also need to get back to the quilting as I have two challenges to finish and I am in the process of hand quilting my basket quilt.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time.

I AM NOT PERFECT

I have joined the I am not perfect protest.  Because I am not perfect!  I enjoy life, I am not a fashionista, the points on my quilt blocks are not always perfect, but I enjoy the process.    If I have a dust bunnie on my floor it will get swept up another day if I choose to wait.  And I could go on and on.

Now, since I have admitted it I will show you what I have been up to the last few days.  I have been trying my hand at various applique methods, but I think I will go back to my tried and trusted method.   Here are three not so perfect examples but I will probably go ahead and use them in my quilt.

 Ode to Texas Until next time.
